Start Slicing
Vegetables will begin flying across the screen from the bottom. Your goal is to slice as many as possible before they fall off the screen.
Avoid Mistakes
Watch out for bombs and hazards mixed in with the vegetables. Slicing the wrong item costs you points or ends your run. Stay focused!
Beat Your Score
Each session tracks your score. Try to beat your personal best with every attempt. The more consecutive veggies you slice, the bigger your combo bonus.

Game Mechanics
Scoring System
Every vegetable you successfully slice earns points. The exact point value depends on the type of vegetable and how many you slice in quick succession:
- Single slice: Base points for each vegetable.
- Combo bonus: Slice multiple vegetables in one swipe for extra points.
- Speed bonus: Quick successive slices without pausing add a multiplier.
Difficulty Progression
The game starts at a comfortable pace but gradually increases in difficulty:
- Vegetables fly faster and from more angles.
- More hazards appear alongside the vegetables.
- The time window for slicing each vegetable gets shorter.
Tips for Beginners
- Focus on the center: Keep your cursor or finger near the center of the screen. Vegetables arc through the middle, giving you the best chance to catch them.
- Don't chase every veggie: It's better to make clean, intentional slices than to frantically swipe everywhere. Precision beats speed in the early stages.
- Learn the patterns: Vegetables tend to follow arcing trajectories. After a few rounds, you'll start predicting where they'll appear.
- Watch for bombs: Always keep an eye out for hazards. A single bomb can end a great run. When in doubt, don't swipe.
- Take short breaks: If your reflexes start to slow down, take a 30-second breather. You'll come back sharper.
Advanced Techniques
- Edge-to-edge sweeps: On mobile, practice full-screen diagonal swipes. These cover maximum area and catch vegetables you might otherwise miss.
- Anticipation slicing: Start your swipe motion slightly before a vegetable reaches its peak. This requires timing but dramatically increases your combo potential.
- Zone defense: Instead of reacting to each vegetable individually, divide the screen into zones and systematically patrol them with your swipes.
- Risk management: In later stages, some vegetables appear dangerously close to bombs. Calculate whether the points are worth the risk before swiping.
